I think the correct name for Nurdøstgronland, is Nordøstgrønland.
I'm a native danish speaker, this part of the country has a danish name.
Good call, manc, but I've decided to revert to the 1/1/09-present municipalities (excluding Tunu) for accuracy

Aesthetically, this is a beautiful map.
The gameplay looks well rounded, and its certainly one Im looking forward to getting my teeth into.
Love the bear, fits perfectly.

Thanks a lot, SK. How do you feel about the Peary Land bonus?

Update time, as Large Version 11 is here:

Is there any way to split Itilleq into multiple territories, or at least make the sea connection go to Nuuk instead? I don't like the idea of a +4 bonus being defended by only 1 territory.

I agree that Kujalleq is one of the larger bonuses and with only one guarding territory it would be easier to hold If it does remain with one guarding territory may i suggest lower the bonus to 3? Just a thought...

[thenobodies80]

The new continent is good choice.

I'm complitely agree with Sam about Kujalleq bonus, +3 is better.
And about this continent , the color is a little to bright and "heavy" ( i don't know if you understand what i mean) and generally doesn't fit very well with other colors in my opinion.

You removed the dark line i saw last time
This background it's better...


Anything else for me now

[the.killing.44]

Ive just landed in Oaktow-- er, land and still have a 3hr drive ahead of me. I reduced the opacity and saturation of Peary Land, as well as made Isortoq sneak through and border Ammassalik, which makes it retain the +4 bonus, no? The question I pose is, is +4 with Isortoq & Illiteq or just Illiteq with +3 better for GP?

I'll try for an update tonight.

[thenobodies80]

i think could be better +3 with only one territory border.
It's a good choice to have a one border continent in a map with only 2+ border continets.
Finally it is nicer.

Okay…

[spoiler=updates and to-do]Updates:

• changed Kujalleq to +3
• toned down Peary Land color
• moved crap around

To-Do:

• there's a black dot in the minimap …
• tone down Kujalleq color in minimap … in real map as well?

[/spoiler]

[InsomniaRed]

Yes to toning down Kujalleq in both maps. Only a tiny bit in the main map, if you ask me.

You toned Peary Land a bit too...down. Maybe try to find a happy medium if possible?


The circles looks wonderful, not sure yet if I think they are too light, but they look really great. I'll let the image simmer a bit before I complain any more


Great work!

[whitestazn88]

Thanks a lot

okay, I've changed some colors and they should be okay for the colorblind folks according to vischeck.com. the middle one is a bit iffy but I think the minimap takes care of that, no?:

On to Large Version 13

only toned down Kujalleq and color changes here … 

Wutcha think?

[thenobodies80]

Now in the map is good, but tunu and kujalleq have a different color in minimap.

If you compare big peary land and the small one, the colors are the same.
But for tune and kujalleq are different still different.

Two last personal suggestion (if you want ignore them)
1.In the lower right part of map, where i read:

GFX & GP - the.killing.44
XML - lanyards

...I don't like the black small line

2.The title, why don't make it "FROZEN"?

Nothing else.
good work

What are the unique features of Greenland ??

Hell, you could even draw some igloos on (+1 autodeploy on each igloo a turn ?).

Errm … well about 80-90% of their economy is based on fishing, so that's something … and the history is really of the Vikings … not really much there

Meh … I don't really know if I want this to veer off the classic gameplay — maybe just a +1 autodeploy on Nuuk (capital)? or major fishing villages? but that's really just in Kujalleq, so that's unfair…

Much Better! although that bottom terit on the mini map (in my opinion is a little to vibrant) GOOD JOB

I think it looks good. That southern area is the most populated and full of life. Plus it's one of my favorite shades of blue. It works with the color scheme, in any case.

I also much preferred the color of Peary Land in version 11.

[samuelc812]

Any chance of applying the frosty look you've given to the main-land, to the mini-map as well? This has probably already been picked up

Lookin Good

how you do that, did u just add some wind, or something

yes with wind effect

First time I look at this map. Is this the first map you're developing?

I must say that I'm really impressed. The graphics and colour scheme suit the theme and are easy to distinguish.

Can't really find anything to fault. I guess the two northern regions are a bit easy to hold while the others are huge and difficult to hold for a bonus, but I'm not sure about what can be done for that.

Great map I must say...one of the best I've seen for ages...and one classic style players like me will enjoy. Keep up the good work!

On the other hand, Kujallec will be very easy to hold once you've conquered it. Just hold Itilleq... Maybe change the sea route in the West there?
Still:
